Abstract: An external, body worn urine catchment and drainage appliance for bedridden females, which cooperates with the natural contours of the human body. The urine catchment device comprises a receptacle which has external bulges or corresponding configurational features providing structure for cooperating with and engaging recesses of the anatomy and a discharge tube for discharging collected urine. Although upwardly open to the atmosphere in the operative position, the urine catchment device has structure for sealing against urine escaping past the receptacle as it flows into the receptacle.
